It ensures that the tourists stay in St. Georges and invests money in those businesses that need the money! Well done I say!

The roads from east to west are all looking the same way as well. Taxpayers are not amused!!!

Anywhere else you would need police at both ends because someone would try to cross while work was taking place.

None have listened because they would not be on the receiving end.

Who was the clueless CS worker that made the decision to do this on one of the very RARE days St George has a cruise ship in port??? The CS worker should be terminated immediatly!!! Just more proof of the old saying, ” ignorance has no limits” I am sure the cruise ship and all of its passengers were highly impressed with Bermuda after that moment of stupity??

If correct, then the bridge should be fixed by now and operational.(After all this time :-( )

A bridge like Watford should go from Coney Island to Stone Crusher corner and Swing Bridge should just be fixed. Now if we just had about $800M……

We really need 3 new bridges: 1 at the causeway, the swing bridge and the old draw bridge from St Georges to St David’s for emergency use. Is there a ‘buy two, get one free’ sale anywhere?
